China children's public welfare special performance--"Sunshine Future Art Tour" to welcome "June 1st" was over, and curtain came down wonderfully. Reviewing the preparation process, all was efficient and smooth because the children's drama "King Lear" crew worked in conjunction with the China Children's Art Theatre. As a strategic partner of Sunshine Future Art Education Foundation, the Laoniu Brother & Sister Foundation supported the China children's public welfare special performance-"Sunshine Future Art Tour" to welcome the "June 1". In the process of careful organization, we are delighted that more and more public welfare organizations and people of insight are working together on the basis of educational consensus. Everyone has only one common purpose: to help children grow and benefit the children.

　　Students from Shoubaozhuang Dandelion Middle School in Xihongmen Town, Daxing District, Beijing arrived in front of the Gate 64, Donganmen Street, Beijing-- "China Children's Art Theater" titled by the Chairman Song Qingling. The Theater which was established together with the expansion of Wangfujing Commercial District in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was still glittering, giving artistic enlightenment to a new generation of China. Under the support of the public welfare project of art education "Sunshine Future Art Journey - Entering the National Theatre to Feel the Beauty of Classics", the students participated in the "Welcome Children Day Performance for Children of Migrant Workers" jointly sponsored by the China Children's Art Theatre and the Sunshine Future Art Education Foundation. The repertoire was the new children's drama King Lear created in 2017.

Approaching the world classics and experiencing the charm of drama 

　　Lei Xining, the Secretary of the CPC Children's Art Party Committee, fully affirmed the event on behalf of the theatre. He said: "China Children's Art together with the Sunshine Future Art Education Foundation jointly launched the performance of " the Public Welfare Special Show for Children of Migrant Workers to Welcome Children’s Day "to let the children of migrant workers in Beijing enter the Children's Theater to enjoy the art works. Hope our performances can bring joy and enlightenment to the children so that outstanding children's plays play a greater social effect. This is the first year of the implementation of the Public Cultural Services Guarantee Act. Chinese children's arts will pay more attention to the spiritual and cultural life and the protection of basic rights and interests of migrant children, and strive to be the forefront of public cultural services.

　　Regarding the original intention of the world classic "King Lear" created by China Children's Art in 2017, Lei Xining said: "Classical dramatic works can help us understand the world and understand life. We chose the works of Shakespeare because different lives of people, exquisite lines and philosophical aphorisms in his works are the most precious treasures he left in the world. The devotion to parents and loyalty to friends, honesty and kindness advocated by King Lear should be understood by children. Children will grow up one day, and they will finally brave the storm and face the world. I hope that the children will enjoy a better life in the future when they are moistened by classics.

Niu Ben, the Director of the Beijing Laoniu Brother & Sister Foundation 

　　"People have two minds. One is rational, and the other is emotional." said Niu Ben, the Director of Laoniu Brother & Sister Foundation, who explained the reasons for supporting art education with his childhood experience. Rationality represents science which can conquer the world. Sensibility represents art which beautifies the world. Art can cultivate our perceptual quality, enhance our perceptual wisdom, and beautify our life. Our generation lacks artistic education and hopes that the next generation can fully enjoy art education such as drama. Let us understand the world more clearly and perceive the world.

Yang Lan, the Director of Sunshine Future Art Education Foundation

　　Have Faith in Nutrition and Strength of Art Classics for Life 

　　Niu Ben, the Chairman of the Laoniu Brother & Sister Foundation, Chen Xiaopeng, the Secretary-General, and Yang Lan, the Chairman of the Sunshine Future Art Education Foundation, sat among the students and watched the Chinese version of King Lear. Yang Lan said that the "Sunshine Future Art Journey" project is a perennial art observation program for primary and secondary schools and communities in areas where art education resources are scarce. We organize children to go into the state-level theaters, art galleries and museums and select classical, high-quality music, dance, drama and art works. The content of the exhibition is to open up the children's vision, cultivate their sentiment and enrich their spiritual life. Talking about the King Lear, public welfare drama special activity, jointly sponsored by the China Children's Art Theater. Yang Lan said she believed that art classics can give a person nutrition and strength to grow up, and it is very exciting to cooperate with such a top national theatre. In her opinion, it is very important for a person to appreciate works of art with high artistic standards and educational significance in his childhood when he is in contact with art, which will affect his life's aesthetic taste and spiritual taste. Through the joint efforts of social organizations, it is a seed project to sow beauty and benefit the future society, especially for those children who have little chance to touch the theatrical arts and experience the charm of drama. We hope that all sectors of the community will make joint efforts.
